Rolled and welded steel pipe is a product frequently required by many of our customers in the underground utility and construction industries. It provides designers with excellent strength-to-weight characteristics.

What is Thick Wall ERW Pipe?

API Spec 5L – Specification for Line Pipe, Petroleum and natural gas industries – Steel pipe for pipeline transportation systems. API 5L X42 Line Pipes are manufactured as per specifications established by American Petroleum Institute (API). API 5L is a specification of API which defines the standard for the dimension, physical, mechanical and chemical properties of the steel. Several pipe mills around the globe manufacture the API 5L pipes for Oil and Gas industry. Line pipe may also be certified to the ASTM A-1024 specification.

Tracing the leak of Thick Wall ERW Pipe

Tracer Tight is a patented leak-detection technology, certified by the US Environmental Protection Authority (EPA), which inoculates a tank or Thick Wall ERW Pipe with a small amount of tracer chemical, before probes are installed under and around the tank or pipeline, allowing a technician to collect and analyse soil vapour samples. If a leak occurs, the tracer passes into the soil where it is detected by gas chromatography. The technology can detect leaks as a small as 3.8 litres a day, regardless of the size of the installation involved.
